With the season set to resume in Orlando, with 22 teams on July 31, the Lakers staff is reportedly ecstatic to return to the NBA.

Last Shot At Redemption for the Los Angeles Lakers?
Over the last few seasons, before signing LeBron James, the Lakers have been one of the worst teams in the league. Apart from missing the playoffs consecutively for the past 6 seasons, the franchise has also lacked stable staff. Losing Magic Johnson and Luke Walton has taken a toll on the franchise.
With the untimely death of Kobe Bryant, the Lakers have an added motivation to win the title. The Larry O’Brien trophy would serve as the perfect tribute to the fallen legend.

With a ring this year, the Lakers would match their long time rivals, the Boston Celtics at 17. LeBron James would also be another step closer to Michael Jordan’s Legacy of 6 rings and will also have a winning mindset moving into the next season. If LBJ manages to match Michael Jordan’s 6 championships, his 4-year contract with the Lakers might be the last of his career.
